The diocese was an ancient one, established upon one of the first Christian communities ever created that which was formed by St. Peter and St. Paul.

Until the establishment of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, it was subject to the Patriarch of Antioch. Following the schism between Constantinople and Rome in 1054, the community was an Greek Orthodox diocese, with only a marginal Roman Catholic community.

The diocese suffered a troubled history following the collapse of the Eastern Roman Empire in the 7th century. The city was raided by the Persians in the early 7th century and following the conquest of the Holy Land by the Islamic armies in the 7th century, the diocese and city suffered tremendously and steadily declined in size and importance. Nonetheless, it remained overwhelmingly Christian, and in the absence of imperial oversight, it's independence increased and the archbishop became the effective ruler of the area. However, by the 10th century as Islamic discrimination and periodic persecution continued and the aura of Byzantine Imperial authority made a resurgence, the diocese fell under the influence of the Patriarch of Constantinople for protection and supervision and increasingly fell under Byzantine authority.
